DERNA, Libya (AP) — The death toll in Libya’s coastal city of Derna has soared to 11,300 as search efforts continue following a massive flood fed by the breaching of two dams in heavy rains, the Libyan Red Crescent said Thursday.
Marie el-Drese, the aid group’s secretary-general, told The Associated Press by phone that a further 10,100 people are reported missing in the Mediterranean city. Health authorities previously put the death toll in Derna at 5,500. The storm also killed about 170 people elsewhere in the country.
The flooding swept away entire families in Derna on Sunday night and exposed vulnerabilities in the oil-rich country that has been mired in conflict since a 2011 uprising that toppled long-ruling dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
Daniel, an unusually strong Mediterranean storm, caused deadly flooding in communities across eastern Libya, but the worst-hit was Derna. As the storm pounded the coast Sunday night, residents said they heard loud explosions when two dams outside the city collapsed. Floodwaters gushed down Wadi Derna, a valley that cuts through the city, crashing through buildings and washing people out to sea. more
You will see that it will serve as a pretext for “flooding” Europe with canoes full of migrants and some extra shit with climate scam.
Good!
Morrocco is 95% muzzie, Turkey is 99.8 muzzie, China is predominately Buddist, worshipping a false God, and God is not pleased. All the mentioned countries is feeling God’s wrath and he’s not finished. Wait until it’s America’s turn, we’re on the brink.
Don’t tell me. Oprah has land holdings in Libya
Biblical. Damn climate change. I’m gonna go start my dirty diesel and let it run awhile.
Death toll is rivaling the 2011 Japanese earthquake/tsunami.
“A U.N. official said Thursday that most casualties could have been avoided.” That won’t sit well with the natives.
The Libyans shouldn’t have let that new Dove spokewhale jump in the lake.
Tragic. So many souls lost so quickly. There is a lot of pain in this world and it appears to me that it will get worse, and I will not “celebrate” any of it.
